Description

(±)-1-Amino-2-Propanol CAS NO 1674-56-2 is a versatile chiral amino alcohol, serving as a crucial building block in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its bifunctional structure, containing both a primary amine and a secondary hydroxyl group, makes it an invaluable intermediate for creating complex molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and industrial producers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-purity chiral intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or chiral synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly β-blockers and other cardiovascular drugs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where its chiral center influences biological activity.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Acts as an effective component in cooling water treatments and metalworking fluids due to its amine functionality.
• Gas Treating Agent: Employed in acid gas (CO₂, H₂S) scrubbing processes in natural gas purification and refining operations.
• Epoxy Curing Agent & Modifier: Serves as a curing agent or chain extender in epoxy resin systems, improving flexibility and adhesion.
• Surfactant and Emulsifier Production: Reacted with fatty acids or other hydrophobic chains to produce amphoteric or cationic surfactants.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent in asymmetric synthesis, ligand preparation, and as a precursor for heterocyclic compounds.
